It's possible to stream to a pocket PC using the Windows Media Player, which
I've done on numerous occasions. However, I wouldn't expect any "real-time"
performance. The WMP buffers quite a bit of data.

If you don't want to use the WMP, you'll probably have to write a custom
source filter. I'm not sure if Windows Mobile 5.0 supports writing your own
custom filters, or to what degree it supports the entire DShow API.

Very feasible. I do it right now using a WMV stream to the WMP on a pocket
PC. However, I'm not sure how feasible it is for a more custom solution, as
I haven't gone through the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK yet.
